Answer 2

Given:

The distance around Jupiter’s equator is about 279,188 miles.

Standard Rule:

Examining the final four digits is the rule for rounding to the closest ten thousand. If the final four digits total 5,000 or more, we round our ten thousands digit up; if they total less than 5,000, we leave our ten thousands digit unchanged. As an illustration, 5,765 rounds to 10,000. Rounding down from 43,567 to 40,000

Solve:

The given number is 279188.

The number in the thousands place, 9, is equal to or greater than 5. Round the value accordingly.

The result of rounding 279188 is 280000.

Therefore, 279188 equals 280000 when rounded to the closest ten thousands.

Hence, the distance rounded to the nearest ten thousand miles is 280000 miles
